Abstract

ABSTRACT
A circular saw includes a base with an opening therethrough, a blade guard coupled to the base, and a saw blade at least partially positioned within the blade guard and extending through the opening of the base. The saw blade and the blade guard are pivotable relative to the base to adjust a bevel angle of the saw blade relative to the base. The circular saw also includes a housing supported by the blade guard, a motor positioned within the housing that is operable to rotate the saw blade, and a bevel angle guide coupled between the base and the blade guard. The bevel angle guide configured to indicate the bevel angle at which the saw blade is adjusted. The bevel angle guide is integrally formed with the base as a single piece.

Claims (21)

What is claimed is:
1. A circular saw comprising:
a base including an opening therethrough;
a blade guard coupled to the base;
a saw blade at least partially positioned within the blade guard and extending through the opening of the base, the saw blade and the blade guard pivotable relative to the base to adjust a bevel angle of the saw blade relative to the base;
a housing supported by the blade guard;
a motor positioned within the housing, the motor operable to rotate the saw blade; and a bevel angle guide coupled between the base and the blade guard, the bevel angle guide configured to indicate the bevel angle at which the saw blade is adjusted, wherein the bevel angle guide is integrally formed with the base as a single piece.
2. The circular saw of claim 1, further comprising a bent edge between the base and the bevel angle guide, wherein the bent edge is contiguous with both the base and the bevel angle guide.
3. The circular saw of claim 2, wherein the saw blade is rotatable about a rotational axis, and wherein the bent edge is oriented parallel with the rotational axis.
4. The circular saw of claim 2, wherein the base includes a front end and an opposite, rear end relative to a cutting direction of the saw blade, and wherein the bent edge is proximate and parallel with the front end of the base.
5. The circular saw of claim 2, wherein the bent edge between the base and the bevel angle guide is formed by bending the bevel angle guide from a first orientation, in which the bevel angle guide is parallel or co-planar with the base, to a second orientation, in which the bevel angle guide is perpendicular to the base.
6. The circular saw of claim 5, wherein the bevel angle guide occupies a portion of the opening in the base when in the first orientation.

Date Recue/Date Received 2020-12-30
7. The circular saw of claim 1, wherein the bevel angle guide includes a straight edge and an adjacent arcuate edge, and wherein a portion of the opening is defined by an arcuate edge on the base corresponding to a shape of the arcuate edge of the bevel angle guide.
8. The circular saw of claim 1, wherein the opening in the base includes a first portion through which the saw blade extends and a contiguous second portion.
9. The circular saw of claim 8, wherein the second portion defines a viewing window configured to allow a user to see the saw blade during a cutting operation.
10. The circular saw of claim 1, wherein the bevel angle guide includes a first scale and a second scale positioned, respectively, on orthogonal surfaces of the bevel angle guide, and wherein each of the first scale and the second scale indicate the bevel angle of the saw blade relative to the base.
11. The circular saw of claim 1, wherein the base includes a total area, and wherein the opening occupies between 35% and 55% of the total area of the base.
12. A method of manufacturing a circular saw, the method comprising:
providing a base having a flat bottom surface configured to slide atop a workpiece;
punching a first portion of the base to create an opening therethrough;
perforating a second portion of the base adjacent the first portion; and bending the perforated second portion of the base away from the flat bottom surface until the perforated second portion of the base reaches a perpendicular orientation relative to the flat bottom surface.
13. The method of claim 12, further comprising positioning a scale on the second portion of the base indicating the bevel angle of an attached saw blade relative to the base, thereby repurposing the second portion of the base as a bevel angle guide.
14. A circular saw comprising:
a base including a first opening therethrough;
a blade guard coupled to the base;
Date Recue/Date Received 2020-12-30 a saw blade at least partially positioned within the blade guard and extending through the first opening, the saw blade and the blade guard pivotable relative to the base to adjust a cutting depth of the saw blade relative to the base;
a housing supported by the blade guard;
a motor positioned within the housing, the motor operable to rotate the saw blade about a rotational axis;
a cutting depth guide coupled to the base and positioned adjacent the blade guard; and a battery receptacle configured to receive a battery pack for providing power to the motor, wherein the battery receptacle is spaced from the housing to define a second opening therebetween for viewing the cutting depth guide along a line of sight that is parallel with the rotational axis.
15. The circular saw of claim 14, further comprising a handle interconnecting the housing and the battery receptacle.
16. The circular saw of claim 15, wherein the second opening is at least partially defined by the base and the handle.
17. The circular saw of claim 15, wherein the second opening is collectively defined by the housing, the handle, the battery receptacle, and the base.
18. The circular saw of claim 14, wherein the cutting depth guide includes a first scale indicating cutting depth of the saw blade relative to the base, and wherein the first scale is visible through the second opening along the line of sight that is parallel with the rotational axis of the saw blade.
19. The circular saw of claim 15, wherein the cutting depth guide includes a second scale indicating cutting depth of the saw blade relative to the base, and wherein the second scale is visible through a third opening between the battery receptacle and the handle along a second line of sight that is perpendicular to the rotational axis.

Date Recue/Date Received 2020-12-30
20. The circular saw of claim 19, wherein the first and second scales are located on orthogonal surfaces of the cutting depth guide.
21. The circular saw of claim 19, wherein the first and second scales are identical.
